Follow your own beat

With superior audio quality, you experience the clear highs, warm mids, and deep bass tones that match what you feel. And when you wear headphones from recycled plastics, you dance to the beat of your own drum.

Environmentally sound

Where your inner world meets your outer one. For big sound and bigger impact.

More climate conscious

Even when you’re tuned out, you’re always connected. Producing new headphones is the most CO2 intensive part. By designing our devices with longer lifespans, incorporating recycled materials, and investing in projects that aimed at reducing CO2 emissions during production, we’re taking responsibility for our planet.

More recycled materials

Your headphones are made with over 80% recycled plastics and 100% recycled aluminium in the headband base. In the process of making them, we’re taking care of the people behind the scenes through living wage bonuses and worker voice programs. Feel good about what you consume.

More sound for longer

Your headphones are yours. Really yours. You can repair and replace them yourself. Nothing is glued shut. With spare parts from our web shop and easy video tutorials, it’s all in your hands. Need a new battery? You’ve got this. After all, the most sustainable headphones are the ones built to last.

Electronic-waste neutral

When you buy the Fairbuds XL, we recycle the same amount of electronic waste. This means 100% compensation for the weight of electronics we put into the market. Making your headphones e-waste neutral.

Modularity at its finest

Full headphones

Your headphones are not only foldable, but also made from modular parts. These are repairable and replaceable, so you can listen in style for years to come. Here’s a selection of some of the parts. There’s even more in the web shop.

Battery

You never have to worry about running out of juice. Your battery is replaceable and one of the simplest parts to fix.

Headband and ear cushions

Fit to your comfort, the headband and ear cushions are pretty important to your listening experience. But what happens when there's wear and tear? You can replace both the headband or its cover and the ear cushions. Easily and with minimum effort. So you can reclaim your comfort.

Speaker covers and speakers

With headphones, there's nothing more important than sound quality. So when the left ear isn't playing any sound or the music sounds like it's coming from the 1920s, the experience is totally lost. We've made it so you can repair your speakers and speaker covers in a few simple steps. Getting you back to your full sound as soon as possible.

USB-C

The USB-C port is the unsung hero of our devices. It's used to charge our headphones, so we can keep listening. But all that charging can take a toll. Luckily, our USB-C ports are fully replaceable. Simple and easy, just as it should be.

Make a statement

Bold sound. Bold innovation. For you and the planet.

Superior sound quality

The 40 mm dynamic driver delivers well-balanced sound quality to match your tastes and your mood.

Hybrid Active Noise Canceling

Your sound, your choice. Tune in if it’s noisy. Tune out if it’s not. You can activate your noise canceling feature at any time.

Industry-leading battery life

Designed to get the longest battery life possible. That means more than 500 charging cycles.

Seamless dual point connectivity

Call easily or connect to two devices simultaneously. No more hassle when you switch listening devices.

Dedicated app - IOS and Android

You can choose between equalizer presets, conduct software updates and even give your Fairbuds XL a name - hello!

Unlock the full potential

Listen to your heart’s content with the free Fairsound app.

Expertly Designed Experience

Sonarworks, a world leader in sound calibration, has pulled together data from 150,000 listeners and thousands of headphones to bring an audio experience designed for you.

Signature Equalizer Presets

Not sure how you want to listen? Take a tour through our equalizer presets. Rock the the sounds of Amsterdam, Copenhagen, or whatever matches your mood.

Storing pouch

Quick-start guide

Some things are not in the box, and here’s why:

We do not include a USB Cable and charger in this box because we believe that it’s better to save the environment through the reduction of plastic waste. Of course, it’s possible to buy one of these products if you need it.

Best in green electronics

OUR IMPACT

There are more phones than people. And behind every device is a complex supply chain. With suppliers, local communities and the wider industry, we work for fairer materials and more responsible practices. Showing the electronics industry that we can do better.

Together we’re disrupting the industry’s short-term thinking that the world can no longer afford. And changing what it means to be “best.”
